Coffee Coffee and More Coffee

Coffee pots, coffee makers, coffee mate, ground up coffee and coffee filters.  Getting water for the coffee.  Finding the perfect coffee cup.  The coffee cup is too small meaning having to go back to get more coffee regular.

The best coffee cups are the bigger coffee cups. Getting the wrong color coffee cup because they are on sale.  Picked up a green coffee cup, but it is not a starbucks coffee cup.  The cup does not have any markings on it, it is a plain coffee cup.  

Getting cream for the coffee.  Milk is not the same as using coffeemate. Like to get the flavored coffee creams.  Have not tried the single coffee makers.  Why get a single cup coffee maker instead of a coffee maker that can brew 12 cups of coffee or more?  

Drinking a lot of coffee during the day.  Hot coffee and iced coffee.  The early morning coffee that is not poured into the cup just sits there.  After a while, the bright idea of turning the old morning coffee into an afternoon iced coffee comes into play.

The only problem with turning the old morning coffee into the iced coffee in the afternoon is the creme.  Adding in coffeemate to a cold coffee is not going to work.  Adding in milk into the cold black coffee is the option or reheating the old coffee from the morning.  Pouring in one of the flavored coffee creams is also a chance to change the flavor.

The old black coffee from the morning might not be in play at all. Walking over to the coffee pot and picking it up and pouring it down the sink is the right move.  You start asking yourself, am I using too much coffee?  The coffee can might be running down fast because you are brewing too many cups of during the day.

Trying to get the right amount of coffee brewed early is a trade off. You want to have enough that you can get a second cup without wasting too much.  Some days, you don't brew enough and you don't want to make a second pot.  Most days you are pouring coffee out.  

Reheating coffee in the microwave is a fast choice for getting the coffee hot again.  Does it change the way the coffee tastes?  Is it better to pour the coffee into a pot and put it on the stove.  Will it heat up in the coffee maker and be good again?  Is it not worth it at all?
